    Mind Blowing HELP! Newbie Aussie camgirl confused about tax/pay

    Hey everyone im new to this site and to the industry!

    I've recently joined Streammate, and am in the process of filling out all the forms, but i dont want to start until i know exactly what im doing when it comes to the money/tax side of things..
    Plus i've only just made an account on here, despite months of reading though forums, but i am super confused about some stuff...

    1. Where do i use my fake real name and my actual real name on documents/forms?
    2. Why does Streammate want my mailing address? Is it safe to use my actual address? If its to post tax forms and stuff, cant they just email me?
    3. How do i declare earnings to Centerlink?
    4. What do i say my job is for centerlink, tax purposes, etc.
    5. Should i use Payoneer?
    6. How do i declare tax properly with this profession? Like what forms, etc. Seeing as i will have to be doing it myself from now on lol

    Im pretty sure thats it, im really sorry that i gotta post this as a newbie, i have been looking around these forums and other sites for AGES, but everything is never really in one place and it HARDLY ever relates to AUSTRALIAN cammers!

    So please guys, get back to me! Any advice is appreciated, but i would LOVE for Aussie girls to comment their experiences/advice/help as its obviously more relatable for me, plus its hard to find other girls in your country haha

    Much love <3

    You are what the Australian government calls a sole trader. Here's a website with a very basic outline of the tax law: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Star...e/Sole-trader/

    Here's one with some general good advice: https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/life-e...mployed-people

    1. Never, ever use a fake name on any government document. In Australia, get your business tax number and use it when dealing with other businesses. Get your Tax ID number, but that is just for dealing with the government.
    2. Because they have to mail your forms. (Old fashioned, but the law requires it.) Yes, it's safe. Your address is not a state secret. If you are really concerned, get a post office box.
    3. I'm not an Australian accountant. I would suggest you hire one. At least for your first round of tax returns.
    4. If Australia uses the same codes as the U.S. and Canada, it's independent entertainer. NAICS code 711510
    5. Payoneer works. But, there may be others.
    6. The website I listed above will help. But, I really think using an accountant the first year is best.
